i've been using mandrake 7.2 for a while now, and i've never seen an error this annoying before.
when i boot up, lilo loads, the kernel loads, and all the start-up procedures go.
the login screen comes up (console) and i enter ROOT as the login (root, no caps) and because i am not on a network, or on the internet with this computer, i didn't set a root password... but anyways, i type root, and it says "invalid login", but doesn't prompt me for a password... what the hell is causing this???
i can't logon and figure it out.. and it freezes when i try to go to single user mode.
